Is your 2010 Suburban 1500 experiencing bizarre electrical problems? You’ve likely found the culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM).
The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics. When it starts to fail, it can cause a cascade of frustrating and seemingly unrelated issues. From flickering lights and malfunctioning power accessories to security system faults that leave you stranded, a faulty BCM can make your reliable GM truck or SUV feel unpredictable. Don’t let electrical gremlins take over. This direct-fit BCM, part number 25892622, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s functionality and peace of mind.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2010 Yukon XL in the shop with a classic case of BCM failure. The customer reported the dome lights would stay on, draining the battery overnight, and the power door locks worked intermittently. After confirming power and grounds were good, we pinpointed the BCM. Instead of a costly trip to the dealer for a new module and programming, the customer ordered one of our pre-programmed units. The physical swap took less than 30 minutes, and because it arrived ready to go, the vehicle was back on the road the same day with all issues resolved. It’s a straightforward fix that saves significant time and money.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Erratic interior or exterior lighting (flickering, staying on, or not turning on).
- ✔ Malfunctioning radio or infotainment display.
- ✔ False alarms from the security system or a “Service Theft System” message.
- ✔ Unexplained battery drain, leading to a dead battery.
- ✔ Inoperative remote keyless entry (fob).
- ✔ Warning lights on the dashboard, such as the airbag or brake light.
The Plug-and-Play Solution for Your 2010 Suburban BCM
Replacing a BCM used to mean a mandatory, expensive visit to the dealership for programming. We’ve eliminated that step. When you purchase this module, we will flash it with the latest official GM software, specifically calibrated to your vehicle’s unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This ensures that all the specific options and features your vehicle came with from the factory work correctly right out of the box. It’s a simple, effective process: you provide us with your VIN, and we ship you a module that is ready for installation.
While the physical installation is typically straightforward, some GM vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure after the new BCM is installed. If your airbag warning light appears, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to sync the systems. Additionally, a ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ may be necessary to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation. Always consult a service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCM and what does it do?
The Body Control Module (BCM) is a computer in your vehicle that controls and monitors a wide range of electronic accessories not related to the engine, such as power windows, locks, lights, security system, and wipers.
Do I need to go to the dealer after installing this module?
No. We program the module to your vehicle’s VIN before shipping, so it’s ready for installation without requiring a trip to the dealership for programming. Some models may require minor post-installation relearn procedures.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit VIN. We cannot program and ship the module without it. You can typically find your VIN on your vehicle’s dashboard (driver’s side), the driver’s side door jamb sticker, or on your insurance/registration documents.
What happens if my airbag light is on after installation?
If the airbag light is on, it means the new BCM needs to be synced with the airbag system’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM). This requires a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure using a professional-grade diagnostic tool.
Is this part truly plug-and-play?
For most vehicles, yes. Because it comes pre-programmed, it eliminates the most difficult step. You simply install the part, and in many cases, everything will work immediately. However, as noted, some vehicles may require simple relearn procedures for certain functions.
My original part number is different but is on your list. Will this work?
Yes. The part numbers listed are all interchangeable. Manufacturers often update part numbers over time. As long as your original part number is on our list, this module is the correct replacement for your vehicle.
